Chinese car injected into foreign blood British power to join


Chinese cars inject foreign blood into British power. Chinese cars will be injected into British power. At a British automotive powertrain seminar held in Shanghai recently, British component manufacturers issued signals that they will fully explore the Chinese market. It is estimated that the total volume of the Chinese auto market will reach 6 million by 2005, making it the world’s third largest auto market after the United States and Japan. However, China's auto production capacity and supplier base are relatively weak, which has become a bottleneck in the development of the automotive industry. Among the developed countries, Britain, as the birthplace of the first industrial revolution, maintained its position as the world’s second-largest automobile producer before the 1950s, and then faced the precarious status of prosperity, its position in the global automotive industry. It has never been shaken, and British-made excellent accessories are everywhere on the world's top cars. Can China and Britain establish complementary relationships? The experts gave a positive answer. According to reports, since 1996, the British Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Association of Automobile and Component Manufacturers have been developing cooperative relations between the Chinese and British automotive industries and have established more than 30 joint venture production plants with a total investment of more than US$500 million for China. The development of the automobile industry has made a great contribution. In 1997, Cardiff Business School in the UK and China Automotive Technology and Research Center began to jointly provide supply chain development services and strive to transplant the new concept of lean thinking to China. In 1998, British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited China. The two sides jointly signed a memorandum in Beijing to establish a demonstration center in China. The British side provided support for China in providing training, technology, and research and development. At present, the Midlands, the main base of the British automotive industry, is also a gathering place for auto parts suppliers and new technologies. It has established a cooperative relationship with Shandong Province. British universities, including Coventry, Warwick and Middle England, are actively working with Chinese universities to provide research and development, technology and training services for Chinese automakers. Each year, Natiefos supplies 250,000 sets of driveshafts to Santana, which owns nearly half of the car market. Perkins produces diesel trucks for heavy-duty trucks in Tianjin and provides first-class diesel engines for Chinese vehicles. At the same time, Johnson Matthey and Lucas Wei Lida and other companies are working together to introduce key environmental technologies into China. Experts at the meeting believe that through this seminar, China and the United Kingdom will surely promote further cooperation in the automotive industry. The veteran automobile kingdom in the UK will inject more dynamic power into China’s new car.
